## Ingredients

- 1.5 cups warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4.5 cups bread flour
- 540 grams bread flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 12 cups water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 egg

## Instructions

1. In a measuring cup, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 10 minutes (skip if using instant yeast).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine bread flour and salt.
3. Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and stir for 15 big stirs.
4. Do 10 cladottes (scoop and punch with your knuckles) to combine the dough. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
5. Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and knead for 5-10 minutes until smooth (or use a stand mixer on level 4 for 5 minutes).
6. Shape the dough into a ball and place it into a bowl coated with olive oil. Cover and let rise in a warm place (oven with light on) until doubled in size.
7. Divide the doubled dough into 8 or 12 pieces, depending on the size of bagels you want.
8. Shape each piece into a ball and make a hole in the center using your thumbs.
9. Place bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a towel and let rest for 20 minutes.
10. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
11. Boil 12 cups of water with 1 tablespoon of sugar.
12. Boil each bagel for 1 minute per side using a slotted spoon.
13. Place boiled bagels on a greased baking sheet.
14. Brush the bagels with an egg wash (1 raw egg, scrambled).
15. Bake at 425 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
